DRAGGED TO CHURCH Winner of the event of the year at 2019’s Cardiff Life Awards, and currently being made into a feature film by Keeping Faith star Eve Myles, Dragged to Church – an annual Christmas fundraiser like no other – is back! Three years ago, St Andrews Church in Roath needed restoration work, so Dragged to Church was put together, and the first ever drag show in a Welsh church was held. The event was a massive success and it’s now back for its third year. This year, due to Covid restrictions, the show will be pre-recorded and streamed on YouTube. uk.gofundme.com/f/dragged-to-church
